Isn't that just the coolest thing you've ever seen:-) Man I can't believe how well it works even on dry ground. For that time it's amazing and it would work great even now!

That was really amazing. Any info if it ever got into production?
Here's old, but recently restored version of 'cabriolet' snowmobile from 1926 called 'Ummenajokas'. I think there's no translation.

Just goes to show you there really is nothing new under the sun:-)
From what I was able to find it did go into limited production as an option or something you buy separately for your Fordson tractor. I tried to find prices but never did. I bet it was high dollar for the time and with the depression coming on only the wealthy could afford them I imagine. Who knows if the depression hadn't happened they may have been a big hit!
I was really impressed with the heavy load it could pull for such a small tractor.
